Methadone Maintenance - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Klemme, IA.

Methadone maintenance is a type of treatment for individuals in Klemme who are addicted to heroin or prescription pain killers. This method of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general idea is that individuals are no longer engaged in the drug using behavior that was brought on by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal. Like heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist which stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin. This is what makes methadone so powerful as a substitute for heroin and other prescription opioids.

People enrolled in methadone maintenance therapy must dose on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This can be logistically and financially challenging, but some find it a better option than a heroin addiction. However, those beginning methadone maintenance should know that methadone detox is considered far more challenging than even heroin detox and withdrawal. Once taking a certain dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification centers that will not take methadone maintenance clients considering detox can be so difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
